?Yes I find I have to run more than one browser to get every web site 
working.

I take it to the extreme admittedly - I have Firefox V4 beta 8 pre-release 
(nightly build), Chrome, Chrome V10 beta (Canary build), Opera v10, IE9 
beta.

My internet banking was not working with Firefox V4 for a while - now is, 
Air New Zealand complains about any browser it doesn't recognise.   MS small 
business server remote connection only works with IE (as it runs an ActiveX 
RDC).   Some web sites redirect to the mobile version of a page for any 
browser they don't recognise  (bad website design).

In general though the beta builds are all very impressive, better, more 
reliable and faster than the standard releases.

Favourites are Firefox V4  (wait until you see how fast it starts up - under 
10 secs to page loaded - and the Panorama tab view).  Chrome Canary build is 
refreshing too (its very yellow!).   As far as pure speed goes, its a fight 
between Canary and Opera, but Firefox is very close behind.   Firefox uses 
least memory because of not having a separate process for every tab - for 
instance it does handle 200+ tabs using same memory as most other browsers 
with 10-20 tabs.
